Terminology Tuesday: Liberation Theology
A theological movement that developed in Latin America in the 1960s, emphasizing the Gospel as a power that liberates oppressed peoples from unjust economic, political and social structures. Liberation theology is rooted in the special concern the Bible shows for the poor, but it has created controversy relying on Marxist-inspired analyses of the causes of poverty and oppression.
